Toys!!!
Went to Hamleys.
Lego is still doing the whole deal where you have peices that can only possibly be one thing. Once upon a time, you had to actually build things, and you could build other things with the same pieces.
The new Dalek toy has curved wires around its main gun. This is wrong. Old daleks did, but that's because stage hands used to grab the gun to move it around.
What is pretty cool is Hornby's range of steam powered locomotives. Most cool. Electricity heats up water. Water drives a steam engine. Controller can then use the controller box to drive the engine. I want one! And a scalectrix. And enough space to put this stuff in!

In other news - it's actually Scalextric. Odd how it's always easier to say it the other way round.
